It's clear, right off the bat, VH1 execs dug deeper in the celebreality show Flavor of Love season two – premiering on August 6 at 10 Eastern/9 Central, and repeating throughout the week – than they did in season one. Some might dare say they scraped bottom with regard to both casting and setting permissible standards of decorum, even though some have observed the second crop of contestants is prettier, overall, than the first was.
Whether or not this season sports a bigger bevy of beauties, I can't get past the following facts:
- For all of their cat fighting, spitting, dishonesty, psychodrama, significant other drama, mama drama, bare chested mud wrestling, throw-down whorishness, brazen gold digging, I'll-take-you-out (and not on a date) behavior, and Pumkin's ignorance of Public Enemy's music (Flav is the group's front man), and African American slang, not one of the twenty members of Flav's original harem warranted headlines like this: "RealityBlurred - Flavor of Love 2 debuts Sunday, and one woman 'shits on my floor,' Flavor says."
- And they waited until AFTER episode one to incur press like this: "YouTube - Flavor Of Love (season 2) first fight."
Full disclosure requires acknowledging in season one, Episode One: "Fifteen Beds and a Bucket of Puke", Goldie drank too much champagne but escaped elimination; and in season one, Episode Two: "Rub a Dub Flav", fur flew between New York and Pumkin.
No doubt, season two of VH1's Flavor of Love should meet or exceed the popularity record set by season 1. As I discussed previously, Flavor of Love 1 was VH1's highest-rated show ever.
To whet viewers' already-voracious appetites for the long-awaited return of Black-chelor Flavor Flav's quest for love among 20 catty, battling contenders, VH1 released three womens' "screen test" videos on their broadband site and at iFilm: Flavor of Love Auditions [2006]. As if that were not enough, on Wednesday – four days early – VH1 also released the 90-minute Flavor of Love season premiere on V-Spot. In addition, to ensure no one misses a morsel, a press release announced VH1 will make each episode "available on VSPOT in its entirety for 48 hours every Wednesday following its Sunday night broadcast," and will heap on dessert, comprised of such weekly "extras" as post-show footage and never-before-seen clips from each segment.

"Pumkin's [sic] ignorance of Public Enemy's music (Flav is the group's front man)"
Ahem. Speaking of ignorance of Public Enemy's music...
Chuck D is the group's front man. Flav is his lively hypeman - "yeah boy!" - who would get about a song of his own per album.

FLAVOR FLAV!!!!! What's up boy! In my opinion Krazy is there for her career. Kick her to the curve and get with my girl delicious or either New york. they both want what's best for flav and that is what's important
9 - kimmy
flav pick delicious or new york cause they both are there for you but i ain't feeling krazy because she's not feeling you she says things to you that you would want to hear. you should see she's there for her career
10 - Ambria
I think that you should get Krazy out of your house because she is fake and I think that New York should go because she called your children "Bastard's"
Your #1fan in America,

What do you think about Flavor of Love 2, Episode 9 w/ the mama drama and Krazy getting cut?
12 - Falon
Just need to pick Delicious cause New York is too crazy. That's a physco one!!!And her mom don't like you so if you chose her, her mom is gonna be in the way. Trust me- It's not gonna work out. And Delicous is "coo", she's feeling u and ur kids like her, what else do u want she's ur full packet.
13 - Falon
Just on question, Why u bring New York back because if u don't pick her it's like u breaking her heart again. And u know she got mad love for u, but she ain't rite 4 ur kids. FLAVOR FLAV!!!! That's something u need to think about. #1 fan- just want u to be happy!

15 - Lsia Tolliver
Do you think New York's mom was being herself on episode 9, or do you think VH1's Flavor of Love producers encouraged her to play a certain role for the sake of TV?
16 - Tenia Reeves
I THINK HE SHOULD PICK DELICIOUS BECAUSE SHE WOULD BE BEST FOR HIM AND SHE WAS GOOD WITH HIS KIDS. HE NEEDS TO GET RID OF NEW YORK BECAUSE SHE IS NOT THERE FOR HIM SHES JUST THERE FOR TV AND SHE CALLED HIS KIDS BASTARDS AND THAT AINT RIGHT SO I SAY CHOOSE DELICIOUS AND SEND NEW YORK PACKING AGAIN
17 - Tiffani
i watched the new eposode and i saw when new york went home i was so happy because the things that she had been saying since she was back in your house was just up rite crazy she acts just like here mother a ugly ass whore and really deep down she mite be pretty but tha attuitude makes her the uglyest person i know i didnt like bootz or buckey either they just thought there looks was going to still your heart buckey is pretty but not all that and i dont even know wat made bootz think that she was cute because she wasnt she just had a pretty shape but if (and you did) want a pretty shape there delicious for you

It's been publicized that New York is almost finished with filming 'The Flavor of Love' spinoff called 'The Flavorette,' in which she gets to flip the script and choose from among 20 bachelors. New York said they guys were even more dramatic than the women were on 'The Flavor of Love' and she loves it. Given that that information, do you think New York was sincere or faked her reactions to Flav and getting the boot on 'Flavor of Love 2'?

i hate that flava flav picked deelishis.i think she is just as fake as the other girls.a real woman ain't going to be on the internet with her ass spreaded open.i know because i'm a real woman with a nice ass and it's only for my man to see in the bedroom.you have a daughter deelishis.do you want people making fun of her in public because of you.besides a good woman don't need to go on a show to get a man.i tink you are nasty girl and you are not a role model for no child not even your own.girl and you need to loose some weight before you start taking pictures with your nasty looking ass out.it's supposed to be dimple free like mine girl so get it together.i think deelishis is a crazed maniac basically because with all that ass you shoudn't have to go on a tv show to get a man.why couldn't she get one from the hood?sounds strange to me. why she ain't with her babydaddy since he got money over money

I agree i think that Delicious is fake too she's not a lady and she has a nasty looking mouth as well as face she needs to tone up and get those ugly keloids removed and her baby daddy doesnt have any money if he was with her.

I see that some people don't like the facy that you picked Deelicious, but I think you made the right decision. FOR ALL YA'LL WHO DON'T LIK DEELICIOUS YA'LL FAKE AND STUPID AND FU*K YA'll
22 - hater

23 - Cherrelle
